The Sonim Land Rover S2 is a beast of a phone. It's designed for people who work in harsh, dirty environments rather than trend-setting hipsters. It lacks many smart phone creature comforts but fulfils its purpose perfectly. If you need a phone that can survive almost any mishap, this is it.

Land Rover is adding a third pillar to its lineup, joining the Defender and Ranger Rover. Despite being the cheapest of the tree, the Discovery Sport can hold its own when it comes to challenging environments.

Just below the Arctic Circle, Iceland presents cold weather challenges, including icy rivers and roads, and very short days in January, but the new Discovery Sport exhibits most of Land Rover's legendary offroad capability.

The Defender may be on the cusp of being discontinued, but that doesn't mean it isn't capable of off-road action. Quite the opposite in fact, as XCAR found out at Easton, where Land Rover challenges its vehicles.
